Graduation...wow, I still can't believe it's over and done with.
Thoughts as I walked across the stage : "Watch the sleeves. Don't trip. Am I smiling? How many eyes are on me right now? Am I walking too fast? Don't drop the diploma cover!" Not quite as profound as I thought it would be.
What I remember the most was turning around to my family after getting back to my seat, smiling as they smiled and gave me the thumbs up, and sticking my tongue out at them in response.
I can only recall a few parts of the ceremony, to be quite honest. What will stick with me the most from this weekend is getting to celebrate with family and friends whose love, encouragement, and friendships helped get me this far. Having them close for this big milestone means more to me than that diploma that I will be getting in the mail.
Here are just a few pictures from the weekend...

And now I can legitimately call myself part of the...
Bring on the future.

OH and Congratulations on graduating!!! :-)
Hey! I'm glad you found this! I wish we'd gotten to hang out again before I left, but it unfortunately got crazy busy. :( I was thinking of ya'll while I was packing on Friday, though, and wishing I could be out, too, rather than packing. I'll come back and visit, though.
Checked out your blog, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts!
Thanks for the congrats. :) Hang in there, you're almost done for the semester, too!!
